Surely I could not have "external carrier" problems on 2, or even 3, computers?
This latter is a problem I had: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757426 Comments in the bug or its upstream may help you figure out which if any cmdline option will help.
OK, I have had a quick look (and I mean this :-) ) of that 'bug' report but simply cannot fathom why anybody has to go thru this rubbish of reporting such a "bug" when it is simply bad coding in the kernel!
That bug contains a reference to an upstream bug. Combined they explain that a gizmo that fits between HD and cable can be defective in a way kernels cannot deal with except to slow down the HD I/O. What do you prefer such a defective device do, slow down the data rate, or corrupt the data transferred? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
